This morning Niantic revealed a rather huge Pok?mon GO update that’s scheduled to go live in the coming weeks.
Dubbed the “GO Beyond” update, the latest version scheduled to launch on November 30th provides the community with one thing they have been looking for for quite a while: a level cap increase (40 to 50 for now) and a rebalanced leveling system for the less hardcore players. Also on the way is numerous quality of life updates, 3 month “seasons”, Gen 6 Pok?mon from the Kalos region, new events and more.
